- Phantom Blade Zero has been wishlisted by over 1 million players in just 15 days.
- The action RPG is also the No. 1 game on the Steam Wishlist Activity ranking, showcasing the hype around it.
- The S-Game title is set to launch on September 9, 2026, on the PS5 and PC.
2026 is stacked with some highly anticipated AAA titles, and Phantom Blade Zero is right at the top of this list. The action RPG amassed the most views out of all the trailers showcased at The Game Awards, surpassing the likes of Divinity and Resident Evil Requiem.
The S-Game title is set to launch on PC and PlayStation 5 next September, but more than 9 months away from its release, Phantom Blade Zero is already making waves, reaching a million wishlists across all platforms.
Why It Matters: Phantom Blade Zero is showing a lot of promise with its innovative take on the action RPG genre, so it’s nice to see players interested in something creative.
Phantom Blade Zero’s official account announced on X that in just 15 days, the S-Game title has been wishlisted by over 1 million players. The Steam Wishlist Activity ranking on SteamDB also backs this up, with the action RPG being the most in-demand game on the platform right now.
Phantom Blade Zero is also ahead of titles like Resident Evil Requiem, the latest indie hit Dispatch, and GOTY winner Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. In addition, Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, which is set to launch in 2026, is several places below the RPG on Steam despite being the most viewed reveal at the Game Awards.
Hence, Phantom Blade Zero is attracting more player attention than some of the biggest AAA releases of next year. Considering how the S-Game title is being promoted as a generational leap for action games, the anticipation surrounding it is understandable.
Furthermore, director Soulframe Liang is pushing Phantom Blade Zero as the innovation of a new genre of role-playing games called wuxia action RPGs, and unsurprisingly, players are interested in seeing how this will pan out.
